No Dave, I think that even the people that is just left do die because they cannot pay the hospital bills should be saved.

what I mean is that good sense is needed here and if the good sense continues to lack and the number of rescues continue to raise, someday we will all have to pay, kind of the rescues being paid by a mandatory insurance...and that is not going to be cheap

Exactly, that is what I am thinking will happen. Before you are allowed to depart on an ocean crossing passage, you will be required to post insurance or a bond that would cover your rescue if needed.
